Editorial policy

Supplier details come from the company’s own website: what it supplies, whether it sells to the trade only, minimum orders, delivery areas and how to open a trade account. Trade show dates and venues come from the organiser’s official website. We use exhibitor lists, association member lists and search results only to find businesses, then check each one at its own site. We do not copy listings from other directories or import third-party databases.

Every listing shows the date we last checked it against its source. We recheck listings at least once a year, and sooner when a business, organiser or reader tells us something has changed. A show’s page always shows the current edition; where an organiser has not announced dates, we say so rather than guess.

Listings are compiled independently and published unclaimed. A claimed listing means an account authorised by the business can propose changes, which an editor reviews. Being listed, claimed or checked is not an endorsement, a quality assessment or a recommendation.

Businesses can buy a Bronze, Silver or Gold plan. Paid members appear above free listings and carry a member badge, Gold members can appear in labelled featured panels, and links on paid listings are marked as sponsored. Payment does not change a listing’s facts, its product types, our news coverage or anything we write in our guides. See how listings are ordered.

News stories and guides are written by the Pet Trade World Team from published sources, and each one links to its primary source. Unless a piece says otherwise, it is desk research: we do not claim to have visited a business, tested a product or attended a show. Guides are general information, not legal, veterinary or financial advice, and we update them when their sources change.

If something is wrong, use our free corrections form or contact us. We check each request against the official source and update the listing and its check date when we make a change. Corrections and removal never depend on payment.
